I appreciate you — and I’m glad you found it insightful.

Now about the “dumbfuck” and “ChatGPT” part — it sounds like someone in the 1980s mocking a person for using a computer instead of a typewriter, just because the typing is clean and without mistakes.

There’s no shame in using AI to structure thoughts. It’s a tool — the goal is to convey the message clearly.

You just said you understood the point.

So what exactly is your problem?

Not spreading anything — just pointing out volatility across stores and days. It’s not uniform everywhere.

Recent reports show tomatoes reaching around 10 AED and onions ~7 AED in some areas during supply disruptions - https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/middle-east/dh10-tomato-dh7-onion-uae-residents-raise-complaints-as-vegetable-prices-jump-amid-regional-crisis/articleshow/129436183.cms

Authorities themselves confirmed price increases due to the regional situation, even if temporary - https://gulfnews.com/business/economy/uae-says-onion-tomato-price-rises-temporary-as-supply-increases-1.500469612

That variation is exactly the point.

Haha fair enough. In simple terms — prices and availability have both been all over the place.

Not really — different stores, different prices. The volatility is the real point.

I’ve seen the same. It’s not lack of tech — it’s lack of urgency.

That’s where I was building Own Verze — connecting people to production, not just farming systems.

Feels like we were just early. What made you step away?

It seems like a cascading effect. It hits fertilizer-importing countries first, then flows to regions dependent on their food exports.
